ISA 2024

Well well well,
Gentlemen,
Young and old,
Today i think the mighty twos blues have really demonstrated the strength of their threat towards auggies next weekend. Dynamic play through the forwards and massive shots in the centres, specifically Jamie Anderson (13), absolute destroying his matchup over the weekend. He was a cat to be honest. Completely overrated. The mighty rhino, (3), proving he is well worth a shout to dominate his matchups at auggies, purely due to the massive amount of dog in him.
I truly think the blue white army pose a threat to topple the mighty auggies this weekend, under the leadership of the mighty Jack tink (2), they truly pose a threat.

Going to be interesting how AUGS keeps their composure after the big win today. Travelling down to Orange isn’t gonna help as they come up against a confident Kinross team ready to upset.

All the narrative about yesterday’s win is about how Oakhill nearly won, about the game next year at Oakhill, as well as immediate chat Auggies can lose to Kinross. Oakhill supporters need to accept that Auggies beat them yesterday and everyone knows that has most likely sealed them the premiership. This would not be the same type of talk of Oakhill had won yesterday.

I think your reading with only one eye opened @Choptackle. It's not always all about Auggies though... there's two teams who should both be congratulated on outstanding efforts that made for a great game.

Auggies fullback Berryman did a great job at returning those kicks. Numerous line breaks as well as a handful more half-breaks were putting Oakhill's defensive line under enormous amounts of pressure. I thought he was probably man of the match.

Congratulations to Auggies, absolute class outfit who just impose their physicality and speed all game.

Auggies are a bloody good team. They have mastered the mix of individual player talent and collective teamwork. Their student body in the crowd also Well done.

@Choptackle Really need to stop playing the victim card champion

@Choptackle Really need to stop playing the victim card champion

Oakhill seem to be playing the victim with the excuses I’m hearing about poor reffing…

 

[RugbyTears]

Auggies beat Oakhill in 1st, 2nds and all A grades in every age group yesterday. Complete whitewash. Not sure that has ever happened. Closest I recall was 2013 but Oakhill won 2nds or 16As that year (the year Auggies 1st absolutely pumped Oakhill 60 something to zero under lights at Rat Park) . Long time ago. Congratulations to Auggies across their whole rugby program. Every team was well drilled & well coached.

A Tale from Old Bloke Gaz...

The Match That twas
Once upon a time, in the heart of Sydney's Northern Beaches, there stood a legendary rugby park known as Rat Park. It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon, and the clock struck 3:15 pm, signalling the beginning of the most talked-about, anticipated rugby match in recent memory. The stage was set for a titanic clash between two storied rivals: St Augustines and Oakhill.

As the whistle blew, St Augustine burst out of the gates with an electrifying energy, backed by their supporters who turned up in numbers. Within minutes, their forwards bulldozed through the Oakhill defence, earning themselves two quick tries. The St Augustine's supporters erupted in cheers, their voices echoing through the park like a triumphant anthem.

Oakhill, however, was not to be outdone that easily. Rallying their strength and determination, they fought back fiercely. Their efforts paid off as they scored a try of their own, igniting hope in their supporters and bringing a spark to the match. Despite this valiant effort, Augustine's reattained their momentum. Just before halftime, they scored again, extending their lead 19-5, and asserting their dominance.

As the whistle blew for the 2nd half, the St Augustine’s faithful brimming with newfound confidence, began a raucous rendition of a famous Oakhill chant, "Old Northern Road." It was a playful taunt, their voices melding into a harmonious blend of cheers and laughter, showcasing their pride and competitive spirit.

But Oakhill’s resolve was unshaken. The second half saw a fierce battle unfold as both teams gave their all on the field. Oakhill tried to close the gap, their players running with fierce determination and their supporters cheering them on with relentless fervour. Yet, despite their valiant efforts, St Augustine's proved too strong. They gradually pulled away, their superior play and strategic brilliance sealing their victory.

When the final whistle blew, the St Augustine's crowd couldn’t contain their jubilation. Students from the school stormed the field, their faces alight with excitement and pride. As they gathered in a jubilant circle, they sang their song, “Oh When the Saints,” their voices soaring high into the clear blue sky.

The match at Rat Park had cemented St Augustine's in prime position for the ISA premiership. It was a game remembered for its thrilling pace, spirited competition, and the sheer joy of victory. And so, in the chronicles of rugby lore, the tale of the great clash at Rat Park was told and retold, a testament to the spirit of the game and the triumph of St Augustine's.

So... did any Oakhill teams get it done? Oakhill kept it tight but still looks like a pretty open-and-shut case to me.

Great outing for AUGS especially with clean sweeps in the 13s in all teams and same with 16s

 

[Scrum Things Never Change]

St Augustine has the very worst BBQ in ISA - something like 3 volunteers on the job, overpriced ($4 for a soft drink), orders priced by “number of fillings” and stingy on the bacon.
The 1st XV supper was disappointing too, verging on disrespectful to both teams.

Would think they would care about putting more money, time and volunteers into their rugby rather than their BBQ

Maybe if u stopped to think that the money is going to fundraising and charity?

 

[HalfbackHunter]

Does anyone have a list of the PONIs ?

 

[Soupnasty]

Auggies should be praised for how well they have reinvigorated Rugby at the school.
Oakhill also!
With the ISA comp really stepping up, Schoolboy rugby is in good shape and a positive for rugby in NSW.
